A Poet Destroyed

I burn in a fiery blaze of disappointment for a poor judge to see .
Swallowed by hungry tears. Shallow tears eat my cheek.
 The salty substance, similar to the oceans of life. 
Washed away and swept off my feet. 
I am a tiny speckle left of a winning dream. 
Destroyed by a poets losing dream .
 A poet destroyer. 
The ocean of life washing away my short winded words, 
along with my poorly judged tears in this oceans lair.
Knoked by a rock, out of my rhyming socks.A poet destroyed.
